Marketing Manager · Copeland
HKU MBA · London Business School · Dubai

Marketing the technology that keeps the region cool, and the planet cooler.

Marketing Manager at Copeland in Dubai, where product marketing for compressors, controls and HVACR solutions across the Middle East and Africa meets a larger purpose: energy efficiency and sustainability as design philosophy, not just metrics. Before marketing came engineering programmes at Daimler India Commercial Vehicles and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and an MBA at the University of Hong Kong on the Dean's Honours List, with a term at London Business School. Five years in Dubai; three countries in one degree; a people's person who reads the pricing model too.
